His total of 1550 career rbis is a worthy stat too. He is currently 29th all-time in homeruns and at the time of his retirement, he was probably a lot higher than that. It seemed strange to think about McGriff in the HOF… until you looked at his stats. I always wondered if Fred McGriff would get into the Hall of Fame. Fred only has two which is pretty low for a slugging first baseman like him. The only big knock I have on this card is the dearth of 14s. Looking at his MG Sp rating of 6, it looks like he just missed getting a (S) rating for the Basic Game.

He is NOT rated as a slow baserunner which is not bad considering he’s a firstbaseman, a slugger and in his 30s at the time. Last I checked, the Master Game considers that Fielding One.

His card is rated as 1B-4 which is pretty darn solid. I actually went to Steve’s APBA-compatible Card Computer and forced it create a single column for 1994 McGriff. However, the APBA cardmakers probably saw there was room in his second column for singles so they planted some 11s there instead. His seven steals could have warranted a 15-10. 318 batting average, that was enough to garner a 55-7 too. Of course, his 34 homeruns in a short season is more than enough to receive double ones. With 25 doubles, he has double columns and a 44-0.

Like Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa before him, Bonds’ card values took off. This time, Barry Bonds obliterated the record set by Mark McGwire, while on his way to 72 home runs. Still reeling from the 9/11 attacks, the baseball world was once again captivated by a home run chase. The two have been stars ever since and their card values continue to climb. Both would go on to be named Rookie of the Year in their respective leagues, and Ichiro was also named NL MVP.
